1 Pet 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
He was dead until he was quickened.
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Jesus Christ was dead for three days and was alive again when the Spirit entered into his body. This is spiritual life. If you deny this tell me plainly.
A Calvinist and a so called Armenian are both dead in their sins spiritually and they got this condition from Adam. The remedy for this condition is "Life," which God gives to all men who will receive it. They must get this life from God and it is possible for all men because the sacrifice of Jesus Christ took sin away and appeased the anger of God against sinners. He has been reconciled to sinners by the payment of sin by his own Son. Now, sinners can be and must be reconciled to God by the same agent, Jesus Christ and his death. I am not reconciled to God because I am prechosen in the misty past eternity, but because I heard that God had provided the way for me to to be reconciled to him through Jesus Christ and I believed it. The promise of God is at stake here if you say that doesn't work. You are asking me to believe you over him. The Spirit who gives life is pictured as life giving water from above. As the water of the flood that rose so deep that it was over every ones heads and destroyed them all, this water of life is poured out from heaven by God so deep that he is over everyone's head and is life for the whole world. This is a contrasting type given in the scriptures and is like this contrasting type stated as follows. As in Adam all die, in Christ shall all be made alive.
The Bible is a spiritual book and many of you men are like the Israelites of old. It was said of them in the Hebrews when they would not enter into the rest of God, salvation, that they did not know the ways of God. Isa 55 says his ways are above our ways and his thoughts are above our thoughts. You men are missing most of God's truths by being blinded by these non sensical additions to the word of God. -

If you can't figure that one out......
It's like the "Trinity."
My verse? I didn't write it. -
